Wow, I thought this blogging thing would be easy but it all takes time! Funny when you travel, all you have is time or so it seems. We have been on the road for almost 16 weeks, hard to believe! The hardest part is the planning, we try to have weekends planned at least a month ahead, we can find places during the week without reservations. We stay at least 3 days in each place so we aren’t always on the road. Just so much to see and do!
The past month has been lot of family time, Gary has met and visited so much of my family – my brother in Memphis, 6 cousins and their families in Knoxville, Tennessee, another brother and sister and families in Evansville, Indiana! Plus my childhood friends….I could go on and on. I’ve loved it but I do believe my patient husband is ready to move on. So, that’s what we are doing.
Heading up to the Wisconsin Dells today to get a bit of a relief from the heat and hopefully the bugs and enjoy some hiking and kayaking. We bought two SeaEagle inflatable kayaks and have only used them 3 or 4 times, looking forward to being on the water.
We will be returning to just outside Chicago next week so Gary can be with friends while I go do some teacher training in South Korea. The Department of Defense purchased science curriculum, FOSS, and with each purchase professional development is included. I get to go to to a military base in Osan, South Korea, to train teachers how to teach science using FOSS. (The same curriculum we used in Cherry Creek School District) I’ll be there for just a little over a week. Crazy – all DOD schools around the world purchased this curriculum, there are about 100 of us doing this training, everyone else from Denver will be going to Europe, somehow I got the short straw. Should be very interesting and I am excited.
Once I return we are headed toward upstate New York, Acadia and Cape Cod. I hope all of you are enjoying the beginning of summer!

Who would have thought that using Foss so many years ago would have led you to S. Korea!! You will take advantage of this adventure, even if it is not top on your bucket list. Send pics. Enjoy the fresh fruit in the Dells! We are working The GoPro Mountain Games, so we meet lots of people like you and Gary!!
I think it is so great that you get to travel the United States (plus a little detour) to South Korea! I remember asking grandmother Riordan if she had ever traveled outside of our country and her reply was, “Until I see all of the United States there is no reason for me to go to another country”. She had a good point but I believe there is so much to see and so many places to travel in this world, plus it is so much easier for us to travel now then in her time.
